This is true, the spark plug gap gauge is usually about 1.5 inches or even
less in length, shaped like a 'T' and has two slots in the 'T'ed end used
for bending the wire at the end of the plug to give the correct gap.
I have several of the plug and points/tappets gauges, my Granddad worked
for Rolls Royce, British Leyland and others as a mechanic, but
unfortunately never for the Rootes group, and I have inherited all the
tools he acquired from about 1930's -1970's including some very specialist
ones that look they should be in a torture room. However some of the tools
are stamped with Sunbeam but I'm not sure where or what era these came
from.
